Autumn is coming!

It's such a beautiful day! For the past three months its been about ninety degrees every day, but today it's seventy, the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, and someone was playing a harmonica at the farmer's market.

I bought four storybook eggplants, never mind I have no idea how to cook eggplant of any kind. They cost twenty-five cents all together - storybook eggplants are quite small - so it can't be too much of a loss, and it might be delicious.

Also! Raspberries! There will be a raspberry tart!

And Starbucks had samples of pumpkin bread when I went there for hot chocolate. Mmmm...pumpkin bread. I love autumn.

Henri can get stuffed. :P The only meaning in life is what you make for yourself.

He would make a very cute taxidermied cat...

Also, fleeing from the taxidermists would probably break through his ennui.

Henri is a very special cat. Oh the ennui! :-D

It's hard work being so despairing all the time!

If you have the little Thai-style eggplants, you should be able to cut them thin and stir-fry them. Bigger eggplants are usually best cooked twice, once to make them squishy on the inside and once for flavoring. Toasting slices under the broiler with a bit of olive oil until light brown generally works.

These are tiny, tiny eggplants. I'll try slicing them up and frying them and see how it works.

Sounds good!

Don't be stingy with the oil, eggplant soaks it up a bit.
